RESUMO

PURPOSE: X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency, also known as the X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome of type 2 (XLP-2), is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, splenomegaly, and inflammatory bowel disease. Variants in XIAP including missense, non-sense, frameshift, and deletions of coding exons have been reported to cause XIAP deficiency. We studied three young boys with immunodeficiency displaying XLP-2-like clinical features. No genetic variation in the coding exons of XIAP was identified by whole-exome sequencing (WES), although the patients exhibited a complete loss of XIAP expression. METHODS: Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the entire locus of XIAP was performed on DNA samples from the three patients. Molecular investigations were assessed by gene reporter expression assays in HEK cells and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in primary T cells. RESULTS: NGS of XIAP identified three distinct non-coding deletions in the patients that were predicted to be driven by repetitive DNA sequences. These deletions share a common region of 839 bp that encompassed the first non-coding exon of XIAP and contained regulatory elements and marks specific of an active promoter. Moreover, we showed that among the 839 bp, the exon was transcriptionally active. Finally, deletion of the exon by CRISPR-Cas9 in primary cells reduced XIAP protein expression. CONCLUSIONS: These results identify a key promoter sequence contained in the first non-coding exon of XIAP. Importantly, this study highlights that sequencing of the non-coding exons that are not currently captured by WES should be considered in the genetic diagnosis when no variation is found in coding exons.

RESUMO

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders that affect in number and/or function different components of the immune system, resulting in an increased risk and severity of infections, autoimmune diseases, allergic manifestations, autoinflammation and malignancy. Inactivated vaccines are generally safe in these patients, but may be ineffective in some cases, due to difference in immunogenicity. However, live viral and bacterial vaccines may lead to disease, with high morbidity and mortality, so it is essential a previous immunological work-out. In this document, the Pediatric Immunology Work Group of the Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría summarizes recommendations about immunizations in patients with IEI, their household contacts, as well as in patients under immunosuppressive treatment and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.


Los errores innatos de la inmunidad (EII) constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades hereditarias que afectan el número y/o la función de los distintos componentes del sistema inmune, lo que predispone a un incremento de la tasa y gravedad de infecciones, enfermedades autoinmunes, manifestaciones alérgicas, autoinflamación y malignidad. En estos pacientes, la inmunización con vacunas inactivadas es generalmente segura, pero puede no ser efectiva en determinados grupos de EII, sin generar el efecto protector deseado. La aplicación de vacunas vivas atenuadas (virales y bacterianas) puede llevar al desarrollo de enfermedad asociada a la inmunización, con elevada morbimortalidad, por lo que amerita previamente consultar al especialista. El presente informe resume las conclusiones del Grupo de Trabajo de Inmunología de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría respecto a la vacunación en pacientes con EII y sus convivientes, en pacientes bajo inmunosupresión farmacológica y en receptores de trasplante de células precursoras hematopoyéticas.

RESUMO

Inborn errors of immunity, previously named primary immunodeficiency are a heterogeneous group of genetic defects of different components of the immune system. Patients present high susceptibility to an only or several microorganisms, developing recurrent infections; the severity is related to the specific genetic type of immunity defect. The main strategy on the management of these illness is the prevention of infections. These consensus guidelines made by the Pediatric Immunology Work Group of Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, givese main approaches of infection prevention in order to provide a useful tool for all practitioners who are involved in the management of these patients, based on scientific evidence and broad consensus of a specialized panel expert..


Los errores innatos de la inmunidad (EII), antes llamados inmunodeficiencias primarias (IDP), son un grupo heterogéneo de trastornos genéticos con defectos en uno o más componentes del sistema inmune. Los pacientes afectados por EII presentan aumentada susceptibilidad a microorganismos únicos o múltiples que se manifestará con infecciones recurrentes de diferente tipo y gravedad dependiendo del tipo de la localización del defecto. La prevención de infecciones es uno de los pilares fundamentales en el abordaje integral de los pacientes con EII. En este trabajo se resumen las conclusiones consensuadas en el Grupo de Trabajo de Inmunología Pediátrica de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, sobre la base de la revisión de la evidencia disponible, respecto a los principios esenciales para el cuidado, la prevención de infecciones y la quimioprofilaxis en los errores innatos de la inmunidad para la orientación del pediatra y especialista dedicados al seguimiento de estas enfermedades.
